THE UNIVERSITY 
GUIDE 

This Uttk book is published to give in brief compass 
information about the several departments of the Un^btr- 
sity of Cincinnati* A separate announcement of each 
college and school has been issued, and 'will be sent upon 
application to the Secretary^ Uni'versity of Cincinnati, 
Cincinnati, Ohio. 

The University of Cincinnati is situated on the 
heights above the city of Cincinnati, and is sur- 
rounded by the wooded hills and dales of Burnet Woods 
Park. Its site is at once artistic and 
SITUATION practical. Near one of the great rail- 
way centers of the country , its location 
on the hilltop removes it from the din and bustle of the 
city, and ensures the tranquillity necessary for intel- 
lectual pursuits. The great extent of Burnet Woods 
provides an unrivalled campus, with golf links, a lake 
for boating and skating, and many shady paths and 
nooks beautiful in spring and autumn. 

The city itself offers superior cultural advantages. 
Cincinnati takes high rank among the cities of America 
for her taste in music and in art. The schools of music 
are of the best, and the recitals of the Orpheus Club 
and the Symphony Orchestra, to- 
ADV ANT AGES gether with the May Festival, 
afford musical training of a high 
order. The Cincinnati Art Academy (affiliated with 
the University) gives instruction in drawing, painting, 



modeling and carving. The Art Mtiseum and the 
Rook wood Pottery are themselves important elements 
in education. 

The academic department of the University, in its 
equipment and teaching force, offers every facility for 
higher education. Its faculty has been selected from 
the leading universities of the country and numbers 

more than forty teachers. Its de- 

COLLEGE OF partments of ^istronomy, Biblical 

LIBERAL ARTS Literature, Biology, Chemistry, 

Economics, English, German, 
Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy, Phy- 
sics, Psychology and Romance Languages, present a 
great variety of excellent courses. The course of study 
is based on a system of election modified by certain re- 
quirements in English, Science, Philosophy, and Lan- 
guage. 

The laboratories of the scientific departments are 
equipped with everything needful for complete study 
and investigation in the subjects 
LABORATORIES of Biology, Physics, and Chem- 
istry. A large building is de- 
voted wholly to Chemistry; Biology and Physics share 
the newly erected Cunningham Hall. 

A beautiful grey stone building, a few yards distant 
from the main group, contains the book collections of 
the University, 45,000 volumes and 7,500 pamphlets. 
The Periodical Room contains the current numbers of 

300 periodicals. The reference library 
LIBRARY numbers 2,000 volumes; the Library of 

the American Association for the Ad- 
vancement of Science consists of 5,600 volumes. The 



Library of the Historical and Philosophical Society of 
Ohio, 20,000 volumes and 64,000 pamphlets, rich in 
local Americana is located in the Van Wormer Library. 
The annual addition to the University library is 5,000 
volumes. Other library collections in the city are im- 
portant and available. 

The Cincinnati Observatory, the astronomical de- 
partment of the University, is situated on a high point 
of land in the eastern part of the 
CINCINNATI city . The grounds comprise four 
OBSERVATORY acres. The main building, sur- 
mounted by a thirty-foot dome, 
houses a new equatorial by Alvan Clark & Sons. The 
Observatory is completely equipped for instruction and 
for scientific work. 

The University now offers the advanced degrees of 
Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. Its equip- 
ment in material for original investigation in the sev- 
eral departments justifies
